You might also require a new clutch kit to cure the shuddering problem. Best of luck.

Also, anyone who has not yet checked the wiring harness addressed by "TSB 14-0215 Chafing of Wiring Harness" should do so immediately. When I looked closely at mine I could not imagine how anyone with an IQ of 50 or better could design or assemble it that way and not see that it would be a problem. The harness is pulled tight with no slack right accross a sharp protrusion that looks like it could have been designed to cut into the wires.

I don't know whether the symptoms the OP is experiencing might be caused by wiring problems, but they should be eliminated as a possibility before chasing after other possibilities.

Did this at 3 or 4 stoplights in a row. When I finally got to a place to pull over and turn it off, it went away after the restart... :(

That is very similar to an issue I had. I took it in and the dealer ended up replacing the clutch pack.

Thanks for the follow-up! :)
